I take it the Wigan crowd was dropped then following a few poor performances.

[wackojacko]

Great game. Wigan played the ref better.

[DavidM]

That try from Wigan was crucial

[scotchy]

Great game, really exciting, frustrating the ref had such a big influence because they were two teams who played quick expansive rugby and put on a great show.

[Just Browny]

What an idiot Aiton is. It was pretty obvious over the 80 minutes that Silverwood would be looking to find a penalty, so to do that was braindead.

[Futtocks]

Phew!

 

Bateman MotM.

[Ullman]

Brilliant finish to a great game.

[Futtocks]

While a tiny minority will dredge nothing but misery and paranoia from this match, the mentally healthy among us have been entertained.

Behave.

Lol, "that" one?...or perhaps any 1 of them ultimately

They shouldn't do as their team won after all

[Exiled Wiganer]

I thought that was a typically entertaining Wigan Leeds game - one year we drew 24 all twice and that would have been an ok result. I thought Leeds looked clearly the better side but we are dangerous and tenacious, especially when McIllorum is on the field. Leeds are a joy to watch, and could well win the lot this year - if they do, they will do so in style. The one slither of improvement I saw was in the occasional damaging drives from the forwards, who have been invisible for too much of the year...

[SirRadlinski]

I'll be interested to watch the game back when I get home as at the match it seemed to me Silverwood was massively in favour of Leeds, the opposite of common opinion here it seems, both teams offside but kept pinging Wigan for it, thought there was a flop by Leeds in front of the posts at 24-18 and he didn't give us the penalty which could have been vital, plenty forward passes and high shots missed, maybe it'll look different when I'm a bit calmer !!

drinks all round for silverwwod and ian smith

[chuffer]

McDermott nice n prickly tonight!!

[SirRadlinski]

Oh right, I guess there was no flop, only Wigan were offside, there were no forward passes or high tackles by Leeds then, my bad

[Exiled Wiganer]

I spotted only one error - giving Wigan a scrum after smith knocked on. But I was engrossed by the match, which I thought had a bit of everything...

You catch on fast!
